Nissan North America Announces Recalls on 500,000
Vehicles

Nissan North America (NNA) today announced recalls to inspect and, if
necessary, repair brake pedal pins and fuel-gauge components on certain
trucks and minivans. No accidents or injuries have been reported with
these issues.

“At Nissan, we’re committed to the safety and satisfaction of
our customers. We regret any inconveniences that our customers may
experience as we take these precautions,” said Kevin Martin, vice
president of Total Customer Satisfaction for NNA.

These recall campaigns involve a total of 539,864 vehicles, a majority of
which are in the United States.

REASON FOR THE RECALLS
There have been three reported instances of brake pedal pins partially
disengaging, causing a loss of normal braking ability, and Nissan has
determined that a manufacturing error on the part of the supplier is at the
root of this issue. All vehicles currently on sale are free of this
problem.

Unrelated to the brake-pin issue, vehicles at higher mileage levels may
have fuel gauges which incorrectly indicate the amount of fuel in the tank.
This may result in the vehicle running out of fuel while the gauge reads
greater than empty. All vehicles currently on sale are free of this
problem.

Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra produced between January and
March 2006 and between October 2007 and January 2008

418,865 in the U.S., 53,253 outside the U.S. (see box for
locations)

WHAT OWNERS OF POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
VEHICLES SHOULD DO
Beginning in March, owners of potentially affected vehicles in the brake
pedal pin recall are being notified to bring their vehicles to a Nissan or
Infiniti dealership for a quick, simple, visual inspection and, if
necessary, repair.

Also beginning in March, owners of potentially affected vehicles under the
recalls for fuel gauge inaccuracies will be notified as to when they should
bring their vehicles to their dealers for repair. Until their fuel gauge
senders are repaired, customers with potentially affected vehicles are
encouraged to maintain a fuel level of at least a half-tank.

Customers with questions are encouraged to contact Consumer Affairs at
1-800-NISSAN1 (1-800-647-7261) for Nissan vehicles, or 1-800-662-6200 for
Infiniti vehicles. Customers may also contact their respective authorized
Nissan or Infiniti dealers.
